Lets review this. Verlander can’t be the MVP because he only plays in 20% of the games and plays in a weak division. Granderson can’t be the MVP because of his September swoon and the fact that he does not lead any major categories. Ellsbury, Pedroia, Ortiz and Gonzalez offset each other. Only Gonzalez leads the league in any major category (BA). Who can separate the contribution of each of them and determine that one of them is the most valuable player. Furthermore Boston’s September swoon indicates that none of them is the MVP. That leaves Bautista who is clearly the MVP on the Blue Jays. He is also leading the league in home runs, OBP, Slugging, OPS and walks. He is among the leaders in RBI’s even though he rarely gets anything decent to hit once there are runners on base.
